"A writer on college customs saws
the social position of students family
has very little to do with his position in
college. A youth of tact and agreeable
address is often to be found in a place
Of far more prominence than is accord
ed to his people in ordinary life. On
the other hand an eccentric man of the
most fashionable connections is often
nowhere in college. Chicago Times.
There is no way in which so much
influence can be welded as through the
schoolroom. The man who writes for
teachers. who speaks to teachers. has
the rarest privilege of molding human
society. The teacher, in her every day
work. is liable to fosget her high mis-
sion, in the details of her labor; is liable
to become indifferent to her character
building possibilities; is liable to forget
how high intelligent activity of mind Is
above routine study of facts and pro-
cesses; how much nobler self control is
than mere obedience; how much grand
er loving confidence is than forced sub
mission to authority; how much more
worthy serenity in service is than fret
full impatience.-Jo,lrnai Of Educatioa-
